"Hi, hello, I'd like to fish around here, is that okay?"
Shen Lanxin's clear voice rang out.
Lu Rong was still intently watching the float on the water's surface, preparing to catch another large fish of a different kind.
As soon as he looked up, he saw Shen Lanxin standing next to him, greeting him with a smile.
He hadn't expected Shen Lanxin to come here.
Of course, the organizers did not stipulate that no team members could be next to each other, and this place is not their own home, so they cannot say that they will not allow others to come just because they are here.
“Of course you can. There’s plenty of space here; you can fish anywhere.” Lu Rong smiled back at her.
Shen Lanxin wore a loose-fitting tracksuit today, probably because she was preparing for a competition, but even so, it didn't diminish her beauty.
She has a well-proportioned figure with beautiful curves, and walks with a confident and graceful gait, exuding youthful energy.
Hearing Lu Rong agree, she happily said thank you.
Then she sat down on the other side, about three meters away from Lu Rong, and began to organize the fishing gear she had brought.
It was obvious that he was going to fish here with Lu Rong.
Although Lu Rong thought all of this was normal, after all, everyone was a contestant and had the right to choose where they wanted to fish.
Given how large this reef is, it's perfectly normal for her to be here. It could easily accommodate several people.
However, in Su Tingyun's opinion, Shen Lanxin's actions were purely intentional. She didn't understand what Shen Lanxin was planning, but she suspected that Shen Lanxin might be thinking of stealing her man.
Although she wasn't entirely sure, she wasn't willing to take the risk.
Lu Rong was someone she had worked so hard to get to agree to be her boyfriend. According to their agreement, Lu Rong would become her official boyfriend after the Kyoto Food Festival competition. At this crucial moment, she didn't want anything to go wrong.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sit closer to Lu Rong, very close.
An attempt to assert sovereignty.
Although she knew very well that Shen Lanxin wasn't necessarily after Lu Rong herself, and that thinking that way made her seem petty, she couldn't care less about that now.
Better to kill a hundred innocent people than let one guilty person go free.
In love, everyone is selfish.
Even she was no exception.
However, Shen Lanxin didn't say anything after greeting Lu Rong at the beginning.
He started fiddling with his tools on his own.
Soon, Shen Lanxin had everything ready and cast the fishing hook into the sea.
Lu Rong knew that as an important figure in the Shen family, she naturally had her own team, but she did not go fishing with her team members; instead, they went separately.
After the three incidents, the competition venue began to return to normal.
Everyone gradually began to focus on the fishing task, since if they didn't catch any fish, there would be no cooking competition. So everyone started to take it seriously.
The initial excitement and anticipation had long since vanished, because only catching fish mattered.
Soon, Lu Rong noticed that the float started to move again.
Su Tingyun noticed the situation and immediately touched Lu Rong's shoulder, but dared not speak, for fear of scaring the fish away.
Lu Rong made a "shh" gesture to her, telling her to be quiet, then gripped the fishing rod tightly, ready to strike at any moment.
After catching the tuna, Lu Rong and Su Tingyun were now quite calm.
Just then, the float began to bob rapidly and then quickly pulled towards the bottom of the water. Lu Rong reacted quickly and immediately swung the rod upwards.
This fish was not large compared to the bluefin tuna that weighed several tens of kilograms earlier, so soon you could hear violent struggles coming from the bottom of the water, followed by the splashing sound of the fish's tail hitting the surface of the water.
With a whoosh.
Soon, Lu Rong pulled up a slender, grayish-white fish. It thrashed its tail rapidly in the air, but it was held tightly by the hook and could do nothing.
Without hesitation, Su Tingyun picked up the net and prepared it nearby.
Lu Rong pulled the fish onto the rocks, and soon, the fish slowly fell into the net.
At this moment, Su Tingyun looked at the fish in the net in her hand and couldn't be more excited.
This is the first fish we caught today, which means we've got our cooking plan sorted out for later.
Lu Rong quickly put down his fishing rod, then took the red bucket that the production team had just given him, quickly removed the hook that was stuck in the fish's mouth, and put the fish into the bucket.
Although its mouth was hooked by a fishhook, it didn't seem to have much of an impact on the fish. As soon as it was put into the bucket, it started jumping around lively.
To prevent the fish from dying too quickly, they put some water in the bucket beforehand, so the fish stayed there obediently after being put in.
It seems that seeing there was no way to escape, it gave up the will to survive.
Let them do as they please.
Lu Rong took a closer look and realized it was a saury. However, perhaps due to the better environment here, this saury was larger than the saury usually seen in the market, weighing about two pounds.
Moreover, saury generally tastes quite good and can be made into delicious dishes.
There's a song lyric that goes like this: "The taste of saury, both the cat and you want to know." Since even the cat can't stand it, it means that the taste of saury is top-notch.
We'll turn it into a delicious dish, and then sing a line: "The taste of saury, the judges and the audience all want to know."
